“Now, if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that in Harris County, Texas, the defendant, Matthew McGowan, on or about the 8th day of June, 1992, did knowingly communicate or transmit to Kent Weightman a trade secret namely: technical information ... owned by Eugene Holler, without the effective consent of the owner, then you will find the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. McGowan v. State · Mendez v. State“The burden of proof is on the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that at the time of the conduct charged the defendant was sane; that is, that he was not suffering from a severe mental disease or defect rendering him unable to know that his conduct was wrong. Therefore, if you find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the offense of aggravated sexual assault as alleged •in the indictment, or the lesser included offense of aggravated assault as herein-before charged, but you further find, or have a reasonable doubt thereof, that at the time of the conduct charged, Charles Eugene Riley, Jr., as a result of a severe mental disease or defect, did not know that his conduct was wrong, you will acquit the defendant and say by your verdict, “not guilty by reason of insanity.””
